Hi, I’m following the tutorial for creating a snap (Python apps). I’m working on a native ubuntu desktop 22.04 machine and I make use of a proxy server with IP and port 192.168.137.254:8080.
After cloning the “liquidctl” repo in my workspace I created a “snap” folder containing a “snapcraft.yaml” file, identical to the one shown in the tutorial, into the root of the package.
Then I ran the command “snapcraft”, but, after around 70 sec of “creating new base instance from remote…”, it fails issuing the following error:
craft-providers error: Timed out waiting for networking to be ready.
Hereafter the log is shown:

It might be useful to know that I’ve already specified the proxy server within the snap environment, through the commands:
sudo snap set system proxy.https="http://192.168.137.254:8080"
sudo snap set system proxy.http="http://192.168.137.254:8080"
Does somebody know what the problem is? If the answer is yes, how can I solve this?

I see snapcraft is passing http_proxy, https_proxy, and no_proxy to the LXD container (3rd line of your log file).
Where did you execute the sudo snap set system proxy.http... commands? On your host or inside the LXD instance? Snapcraft sets those inside the LXD instance automatically.
And @dancrumb is correct about Docker interfering with iptables and causing network issues for LXD. Do you happen to have Docker installed?
I haven’t seen snapcraft fail on the lxc --project snapcraft info command before. If you happen to have full logs, will you please provide them? Thanks
Hello, thank you for the feedback everybody, I kind of solved the problem by changing workstation. The pc I currently work on doesn’t have any proxy server (or firewall) configured and now everything is working fine
